BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- Shea Gutierrez drove in a career-high five and cranked his first career home run, leading UTSA baseball to a 14-3 win at UAB in the nightcap of a pair of seven-inning games, on Saturday and Young Memorial Field.
UTSA (18-19, 10-12 Conference USA) rode a seven-run fifth inning that saw Gutierrez and Nick Thornquist go back-to-back, with Thornquist's blast – his eighth of the year – good for a grand slam. The Roadrunners used a pair of big innings, a five-run second and a seven-run fifth to secure the win, allowing a run in the second and two in the third.
